BR 2-18: Arthur's First Kiss (Brown Marc, 2001)

"I'm writing each boy's name on a piece of paper for a game," Francine said to everyone. But she didn't write each boy's name. She wrote only Arthur's name."


This book is very interesting. I laughed it. This story is about the girl who want to kiss with Francine. She is interesting. She is cute but Francine doesn't like the girl. I feel sad to it. She plays cheeting game with her friends in her home party. Francine could avoid her kiss thanks to his sister. His sister is very lucky and clever. I like this scene. I want to have my sister like her. Arthur has never kissed, so I want her to kiss for the first time. This book is really interesting. In addition, this book has seal. I like seal very much, and I want to get this seal because it is very cute. However, this book is university's book, so I couldn't get it. It is very good book for children to enjoy reading and playing with seal.

My favorite hair style

I’m going to write about my favorite hair styles. I like short hair because it is very cute. Now I have medium hair. I had my hair cut short when I was a high school student. I felt much better after having my hair cut. This hair made me happy very much. I like this hair, but I didn’t match it because I have big face. This hair match the person who have small and cute face. I want small and cute face because I like short hair, and I want to have short hair. Almost all my favorite actresses have short hair. I like not only female’s short hair but also male’s short hair. I don’t like man’s long hair because it looks female and it makes me uncomfortable. I think that it is very dirtiness. That is why, I think men match better short hair than long hair. In addition, there are a lot of men who have short hair, so I think that the man who has long hair is strange. All my favorite actors are have short hair. For example, Tsumabuki Satoshi, Oguri Shun, Saitou Takumi and other actors have short hair.

Essay 2-03b: Learning with computers

Recently, a lot of people use computers. People can do anything using computers. It is very useful. People who have their own notebook computers can use it anytime anywhere. People can research something, play CDs and DVDs, listen to music, and watch movies. That is why people who have their own computers can do a lot of things.

If people are university students, they have to do a lot of homework using computers. For example, people who major in English department have to do typing homework, English central, Book reviews, diary blogs, Essays writing, reports, News Quiz homework and other homework using computers. Typing homework, book reviews, diary blogs, and Essay writing are Writing class's homework. They have to use computers many times if we take Writing classes. 

In addition, they have to use computers in not only writing classes but also Reading, Listening and Speaking classes mainly. 
Reading homework is News Quiz homework. They have to research news through website. There are a lot of newspapers on the Internet website. The Japan Times and The Japan News are easily reading. That is why they have to do almost all homework using computers in English. Sometimes, they use microphone to check their announcement with English central and listening classes. There are a lot of homework using computers, so university students have to use computers to learn.

They have to learn not only English classes but also other subjects using computers. For example, they have to make presentations in inter-cultural communication class, Japanese class and other classes. They also submit some reports in Japanese in a lot of subjects. It is very hard.

Computers are very convenience. It has a lot of convenience tools. For example, there are Word applications, Recording tools, Playbacks, Excel and Internet Explorer on the computers. There is also Google. It is very useful too. Google have Drive, Blogger, Gmail, Presentation, Google map, Google searching tool, and other convenience tools. People can do anything using only Google tools.

There are not only good points but also bad points in learning with computers. First, if people don't have their own computers, they can't do homework in their house. It is unfair. However, there is the library in the university. There are also some libraries around Kumamoto city, so whoever goes the libraries can use computers for free. Next, there are a lot of people who are not good at typing keyboard fast. They have troubles more than people who are good at typing very fast because people who are good at typing keyboard fast can submit reports very fast, but other people submit very late. That is why it is necessary to be able to type keyboard fast. If people cannot type it fast, they have to practice typing hard.

Using computers is very good, it is very useful, but learning with computers is not only good but also bad. However, It is very good thing what people have their own computers. There are a lot of learning ways. Computer is one of them. There are a lot of convenience tools in the computers, so computers are unrivaled things to do anything.

BR 2-13: Alice in Wonderland (Carroll Lewis, 2006)

"Alice screamed... and woke up to find her sister gently brushing dead leaves from her face. "Oh, I've had such a wonderful dream," she said and told her all about it, before running off for tea."
 
This book is very famous all over the world. It is Disney's book. I had read it in Japanese, and I liked it very much. I read English story for the first time. I think that English story is different from Japanese one. It is a few differences. However, I like both. I like the scene that Alice become very small, and she is in the small world. Then she become very big in the small world, so she can't be the small house. She went on growing and growing until one arm was out of the window and her foot was stuck up the chimney. I like this scene because it is very unbelievable story and very interesting. I want to go the small world very much.
